Im  hoping one of these WRs separates themselves and really takes off as a dominant WR1. Just no idea who that might be.

Now we're in the dead zone of the NFL off season, draft is done and we over 4 months to wait until game 1 of the regular season.  Maybe 3 months to pre season.

Honestly, even if one doesn’t blossom into a #1, hopefully as a whole, the receiving cops can produce like KC.

I was watching YouTube and one of the videos I saw made a great point.  Pittsburgh and Cincinnati drafted a QB and a WR to grow together.  We have Young and Mingo.  If they build a chemistry together they could be our dynamic Duo.  

I like the mix in the WR room.  Some solid vets and some younger players that are finally going to break out of the shadows of the Fhule regime.

Tee Higgins will be Young's #1 WR for the future. Speak it into existence!

i can't remember his original account, but he's the numerology guy. he usually posts for a while before he starts spouting all that stuff. didn't get around to it this time in time. he's been known as @Peanut Butter @Aquemini and a lot of other ones. he's one of the most persistent ones we've had in a couple years.

While we might not have a clear WR1, this is probably the deepest WR group that the team has had in a long, long while.

  • Adam Thielen is a proven commodity and also the NFL record holder for most consecutive 100yd games (8)
  • DJ Chark (2018), Laviska Shenault (2020), Terrace Marshall Jr (2021), and Jonathan Mingo (2023) are all big-body WRs that were all selected in the 2nd round of the NFL draft
  • Damiere Byrd and Shi Smith are both speedsters and former Gamecocks that are likely competing for the same roster spot
  • Even the practice squad guys have potential: CJ Saunders and Derek Wright are both practice squad guys from last season that showed promise during the preseason. Preston Williams is 6'5" 215lbs.  There's a whole lot of him.

Honestly, the Panthers have had some of the best success on teams without WR corps that were well-regarded.

1996- Wesley Walls was our best receiving threat as a TE

2003- Probably the best trio in franchise history (Smitty, Moose, & Proehl) but none of them were considered a true WR1 entering the season 

2005- Smitty's Triple Crown performance masked the fact that the rest of the receivers were nobodies

2013- An aging Smitty and an ascendent Greg Olsen 

2015- Olsen and a bunch of nobodies 

2017- Olsen (before he got hurt) and the rest were truly a bunch of nobodies.  Cam Newton's best game of his career IMHO was the 2017 Playoff game in New Orleans where he almost willed us to victory in spite of Kaelin Clay, Brentin Bersin, and Devin Funchess sucking something awful.

So, to your point, while there is not a bona fide WR1 in this group to start the season, the overall potential of this group is light years beyond a lot of the groups we have had in franchise history.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
